   Hello everybody!

I'm searching a BBS software to run on Debian Linux. Yesterday I started to
take a closer look at MBSE and so far it is quite promising.

However, I have some questions:

- MBSE brings in a full Fido node environment, i.e. mailer, tosser, whatever.
But I'm already running Husky and Binkd for my mailer/tosser and would like to
keep it that way. How can I integrate MBSE into my existing Husky setup? BBS
users should read all/some echoareas

- basically the same for fileareas: I would like MBSE to make use of the
existing fileareas, so that BBS users can download for example from the Aminet
archive. But MBSE shouldn't alter anything of that filebase, i.e. not doing any 
maintenance (neither file- nor echoareas).

- same for newsgroups: I already run a full featured Inn2 setup. Maybe that's
the easiest part, because I could just point MBSEs own nntpd to a different
port and establish a normal feed between both inn servers. But that mean to
have articles twice on disk, so I would like to avoid this, if possible.

If there's any documentation beside the generated one you can point me to, this 
would appreciated as well! :-)

Ingo
